TRANSCRIPT OF ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING ON CROSLAND
POPE: Mr. Chairman, the commissioners had adjourned the public hearing to this day at 2:00
o'clock for the purpose of attempting to ascertain whether the staff and others could answer certain
questions. I have those questions:
(1) Whether Duke Power Company consented to allow an increased
discharge on its property, apparently having consented to
previously allow 10,000 gallon discharge, that it now consent
to have that burden increased.
(2) What impact this project might have on the Mt. Mourne School
situation. That is, the sewer problem that exists at the school.
(3) The third aspect the staff was to address was to contact
appropriate state agencies and to determine what information
could be obtained concerning the water flow, volume, etc., in
the lake, and how it might be impacted by an increased discharge.
We are in public session now for the purpose of hearing the report of the staff on these three
items and for taking such further testimony as the commissioners desire to take with regard to this
application to rezone and to grant a special use permit.
HEDRICK: So we need to be in a public hearing session?
POPE: I do not think it is necessary. But let's do that, let's go into public hearing.

items?

Power had granted an easement for the Castaway .Shores development to allow the placement of the
discharge line into the lake. That easement does not have anything to do, I am told, as

by the John Crosland Company, we anticipate, based on similar
developments, no negative impact on the Iredell County Schools.
Historically, demographic changes resulting from similar developments
